Microsphere-assisted microscopy currently benefits from a considerable interest in the microscoperesearch community. Indeed, this new imaging technique enables the lateral resolution of optical microscopes to reach around λ/5 through a full-field and a far-field acquisition while being labelfree. Despite the photonic jet clearly not being a relevant concept to justify the super-resolution phenomenon, we show here how it can be used to predict imaging formation and performance such as the image position and the microsphere magnification. This study allows a better understanding of the experimental measurements that have been observed over the last decade and that will be observed in coming years, through numerical simulations using different optical and geometrical parameters.
